Why should you use the team at Forst CPA instead of an in-house accounting team?

When it comes to managing your business’s financials, choosing the right accounting solution is critical. Many small and medium-sized business owners grapple with whether to hire an in-house accounting team or partner with an outsourced accounting firm like Forst CPA. Here are the key reasons why outsourcing your accounting needs to Forst CPA makes more sense for your business:

1. Cost-Effective Without Compromising Quality

  • Lower Overall Costs: Hiring a full-time in-house bookkeeper can cost upwards of $50,000 per year. Senior accountants are probably closer to $90,000. Any decent controller is pushing $150,000. And all of that is excluding benefits, payroll taxes, and training expenses. Outsourcing to Forst CPA provides access to a team of highly skilled professionals at a fraction of the cost.

  • Better Bang for Your Buck: With Forst CPA, you get experienced accounting professionals who bring a higher level of expertise and efficiency than a typical full-charge bookkeeper. This ensures your financials are managed by experts without the hefty price tag.

2. Access to a Full Team, Not Just One Person

  • Continuity and Reliability: An in-house employee can take time off, get sick, or leave for another job, disrupting your operations and causing potential gaps in your financial processes. At Forst CPA, we have a team structure that ensures continuous service without interruptions.

  • Diverse Expertise: By outsourcing, you gain access to a team of accountants and advisors with a variety of skills and specializations, offering more value and insight than a single in-house hire.

3. Eliminate Employee Turnover Risks

  • Reduce Costs of Turnover: Replacing an employee can be expensive and time-consuming, involving recruiting, onboarding, and training. Outsourcing with Forst CPA means you’ll never face these challenges.

  • Preserve Institutional Knowledge: Turnover often leads to a loss of knowledge about your business’s unique financial situation. Our team ensures that your financial data and processes are securely managed and that institutional knowledge is never lost.

4. Scalable Services to Match Your Growth

  • Flexible Solutions: Whether you need basic bookkeeping or full-service accounting, our packages are designed to scale with your business. As your needs evolve, we can adjust our services to support your growth.

  • Interim Support: If you’re in between hires or experiencing a spike in workload, our team can act as a bridge, ensuring your financials remain up-to-date while you determine the next steps.

5. Confidence and Peace of Mind

  • Expertise You Can Trust: Our services ensures that your books are always accurate, organized, and compliant, allowing you to focus on growing your business rather than worrying about accounting tasks.
